About this property

B&B in an old fortified French farm + basic camping offered

We are a family run business, located in the heart of the French countryside on the border between Deux-Sevres and Véndée. We have lived in France since 2005 and bought our fortified farmhouse in 2011, from which we are now running a B&B and camping facilities.
Take a step back in time in our medieval property, sympathetically restored to retain as many of the original features as possible but adding modern comforts. If visiting Puy De Fou our property extends the experience.
Breakfast is included in the room price and evening meals are available by pre-booking. Minimum of 2 choices for each course and dietary requirements can be catered for - cooked by a trained chef on site. Covered and open terraces, BBQ's and fire pits all available. Meals can be taken indoors or outside depending on preference. In the warmer months a plunge pool is also available.
Situated approximately an hour and a half from the coast, the local area offers a range of tourist facilities whilst still benefiting from a tranquil environment. Most of the nearby towns host weekly farmers markets.
Our 9 acre property includes a thriving vegetable plot, dogs and cats, an assortment of poultry and neighbouring cows.
Pets welcome by prior arrangement , €10,00 per night, dogs etc allowed in rooms but cannot be left unattended. Dog kennel facilities are available on site by reservation.
Biker friendly !
Regards, Pete and Vikki

Would happily return!

What a lovely old farm house so beautifully renovated and such a home away from home feel. But that's not all…..Vickie and Pete are such gracious hosts who are welcoming and very easy to talk to and spend time with. Vickie puts her heart and soul into her cooking and she has generous portions that are beautifully created. The food is delicious, she is an amazing cook! And being vegetarian, she was not concerned by my diet requests. The bed and bath room were lovely, very clean and so well equipped. You will be happy you stayed here!!!!! Rob and June USA.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
This is our second major property renovation in France and by far the most interesting!

Why they chose this property

Saw it first when we were looking for another home and totally fell in love. Required full renovation, roof replacements, the lot. Almost finished the house and land reclamation is going well.

What makes this property unique

Medieval history, massive fireplaces in most rooms, large covered terrace for Summer dining, fire pit for the cooler evenings or dine inside in our huge banquet room - available to hire for events too.

Relaxing rural environment but close to all amenities. Come and relax with us!
